The cloud-ready Liberate AMS solution extends Cadence’s ultra-fast standard cell and I/O library characterization capabilities to cover large mixed-signal macro blocks such as phase-locked loops (PLLs), data converters (ADCs, DACs), SerDes, high-speed transceivers, and high-speed I/Os. Macro blocks require additional pre-analysis steps in order to make fast and accurate characterization feasible. Leveraging a network of distributed CPUs and utilizing the “hybrid partitioning” technology for optimizing characterization runtime, mixed-signal macros can be characterized quickly and easily with the same accuracy and methods as standard cells, including the generation of timing constraints and modeling of current source models for timing, power, and noise.

Features

Automates the creation of standard Liberty models for large mixed-signal macro blocks by automatically capturing the interaction between digital and analog paths to identify latches, flops, and other probe nodes
